This year at the BAUX stand, named The Temple of Sound, we created a spiritual place for learning about acoustics; a calming environment for thoughts and reflections. At the stand, visitors were invited to study The Book of Acoustics, partake in the latest knowledge about sound, be inspired by interior design, and listen to guest speakers on the importance of good acoustics in public spaces.
The Temple of Sound was a playful construction, built out of BAUX’s sustainable sound absorbers in a combination of materials, namely Wood Wool in strong colours and Acoustic Pulp in more subdued, neutral tones. The stand has been created by Johan Ronnestam in collaboration with the design studio Form Us With Love. At Stockholm Furniture and Light Fair 2019, BAUX was awarded the prize “Best Stand”.

The Book of Acoustics
The Book of Acoustics was written in collaboration with a number of experts in the field of acoustics and launched during Stockholm Furniture Fair. The book provides guidance for architects, interior designers and entrepreneurs on acoustics and functions as a source of knowledge and inspiration regarding noise; an area relatively unexplored. Through interviews with psychologists, neuroscientists, acousticians, and designers, the book covers everything from the history of acoustics, how sound occurs and is controlled, to how acoustic design can increase creativity, productivity and wellbeing.

The trend towards activity-based and open office landscapes continues to grow. Consequently, the demand for knowledge about acoustics among architects and designers is higher than ever. Sound absorption plays an important role for employees to remain creative, productive and happy. Here BAUX has a clear role to play. We must continue to take responsibility to spread knowledge and inspiration and simultaneously challenge ourselves to create climate-friendly acoustic solutions that meet that sustainable needs of the future.
